Would you mind showing me how?
Oh, that'd be hard… I meant modification to some internal code
that
spawns an SSH process. So that when certain CLI option is
passed, Guix
does this without substituting stdin/stdout/stderr file
descriptors.
Actually, I'm not even 100% sure the substitution is controlled
directly by Guix — it might be in libgit which IIRC is used for
cloning
here.
I think you might be on to something -- scouring the internet,
libgit2 seems to be the culprit.
Anyway, this improvement would require digging deep into either
Guix or
libgit. That's why I called it hypothetical — because it is too
much
work to consider here :)
Anyway, if you're inclined to work around the problem, you might
want
to experiment with the SSH_ASKPASS and SSH_ASKPASS_REQUIRE
environment
variables. So that you're asked to enter the password in a GUI.
See `man ssh` for more info about these vars
Happy Hacking!

Thanks for your all your help. What I have now works, which, is
sufficient for now (I hope).
A couple of things more I want to check, and that's it: I'm
migrating to a full Guix system.
